Possibility to conclude s.th.? On the one hand both settings should be equally
strong (in fact they are) but on the other hand 10 games is not that much.
I can repeat again and again:
In Nimzo98-MCP7 it was 13.5-12.5 in favour of Nimzo98. What would you say?
Then Nimzo won 4 games in a row and finished this series 17.5-12.5. What would
you say now?
Supposing you get the last 4 games first and see 4-0, what would you say?
Going on with changed colours MCP started 8-2! What to say?
Now it is 11-7 what is 3-5 out of the following 8 games. What can we say if we'd
have this extract?
Know what I mean?
And, to make MY point clear what *I* think and conclude out of all that and some
more investigations (also autoplayer) is:
Rebel, Hiarcs, MCP, Nimzo, Fritz, Genius, Junior, Chessmaster and Shredder
(Sorry if I forgot one)
H A V E T H E S A M E S T R E N G T H !!
(Some more tests with CM6k could be made to proove, the others did by
autoplaying)
The only thing you have to do is PLAY ENOUGH GAMES. Rating differences of 20-50
points between the programs say nothing! They are even in the margin of error.
Honestly, what say 20-50 points? That the one program gets 52/100 the other one
48. Who cares? I don't. And you shouldn't either.
Choose the program with the playing style you like most and be glad. Give a damn
if someone writes "my Genius wins 2 more games than your Fritz out of 200
games".

Keine Gefangenen! :-)

We are all learning. :-)
